Sheets appeared in 163 episodes of the long-running reality show "Storage Wars" from 2010 to 2023, becoming a fan favorite along the way.
On Wednesday, police revealed new details regarding the television star's death.
According to a Lake Havasu City Police incident report obtained by TMZ, detectives located a "handwritten note tucked inside a black basket in a bathroom closet near where Darrell was found dead."
Officials stated that Sheets mentioned struggling with cyberbullying in the suicide note.
"I could not take anymore the Facebook bulling, f*** you [redacted]," Sheets wrote, according to police.
Per the outlet, the handwriting "appeared shaky."
According to TMZ, the report also contained new details from the reality TV star's final moments. An unnamed girlfriend told police detectives that Sheets got out of bed late after being unable to sleep.
After finding him standing in the doorway to his office, he told her to "go back to bed." Later that night, she heard a single gunshot ring out.
Darrell Sheets Struggled With Insomnia in His Final Days
In addition to the constant cyberbullying, police also revealed that Sheets dealt with family trauma during his last days.
His girlfriend said Darrell's son had recently visited, and the two got into a verbal argument over "family drama" before he left.
She also told investigators that Sheets accused his daughter-in-law of stealing money from him. The accusation reportedly left Sheets visibly upset and further complicated the relationship with his son.
Although he never made mention of self-harm, Sheets' girlfriend noted that he dealt with insomnia.
The A&E star's "Storage Wars" castmates Laura and Dan Dotson claimed he was living in fear over alleged cyberbullying before his death. "His family told us that this has been happening for three years," Laura told Us Weekly in April.
"[It happens to] even strong men that you think aren't gonna get their feelings hurt. Cyberbullying is a real thing. This made him feel less than. And it really obviously bothered him."
Darrell was found dead on April 22 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The Mohave County Medical Examiner's Office subsequently confirmed in May that he died by suicide.
